| Abstract | The Adipura award for cities that manage their cleanliness successfully is aimed to
create a culture of clean living by strengthening public participation. After ten years of
implementation of this program, in fact, the target has not yet been achieved. There are many
cities which have not succeeded in handling their solid waste management problems. Public
participation in solid waste management still inadequate.
This study investigated and assessed the municipal solid waste management system in
terms of the institutional, financial and legislative aspect, and the present public participation in
managing their domestic waste, between the successful city (Central Jakarta) and unsuccessful
city (North Jakarta). It discusses the differences in terms of the solid waste management system
and the existing public participation in solid waste management.
The study found out that besides certain dissimilarities, there are similarities between
the two cities in terms of problems related to the limited number of personnel and inadequate
qualification, the shortage of equipment, limited budget, ineffectiveness of cleanliness fee
collection and low enforcement of regulations. However, Central Jakarta has more budget for
city cleanliness management; strong power of the Mayor; physical, economic and political
situation which supports the system, so that they can manage their cleanliness better than
North Jakarta.
Many factors influence the low rate of public participation in both municipalities, such
as: insufficiency of the municipal solid waste management system, and heterogeneous of social,
culture and economic conditions of the city.
Therefore, in order to solve the urban solid waste problems, active public participation
has to be necessary, and the partnership between municipality and the people also has to be
created. This study suggests strategies and ways to improve the conditions of municipal solid
waste management system and to increase public participation. |
